Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples, cored and chopped
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your apples. The crisp, fresh aroma of cored and chopped apples sets the stage for this delicious drink.
  2. In a blender, combine the chopped apples, ripe banana, and plain Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour in the apple juice and ground cinnamon. Blend again until all the ingredients are well-combined, and the mixture has a creamy texture.
  4. Add a tablespoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, and blend briefly to mix.
  5. Toss in the ice cubes and blend until the smoothie is chilled and frothy.
  6. Pour the smoothie into your favorite glasses, and sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg on top for a warm, aromatic finish.

Helpful Tips and Variations

  • If you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt or even a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt.
  • For a thicker smoothie, freeze the chopped apples and banana chunks beforehand.
  • Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing experience.

Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in a sealed container for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before serving again.

If apples are out of season, pears make a delightful substitution, offering a similar texture and sweetness.

Pairings and Complements

This Cinnamon Apple Smoothie pairs beautifully with light snacks such as apple slices with peanut butter, oatmeal cookies, or a simple mixed nuts and dried fruit trail mix.
